Abstract
The Maritime Administration ("MARAD") is amending its regulations to implement amendments to the Maritime Security Act of 2003 by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 ("NDAA 2013"), the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 ("CAA 2016"), and the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 ("NDAA 2016"). The revisions to the regulations, among other things, make changes to vessel eligibility for participation in the Maritime Security Program ("MSP"), authorize the extension of current MSP Operating Agreements, amend the procedures for the award of new MSP Operating Agreements, extend the MSP through 2025, update the MSP Operating Agreement payments and schedule of payments, and eliminate the Maintenance and Repair Pilot Program.
